Please check out my new Teacher Training Page on my website. The Total Body Wellness Teacher Training Program is a very realistic and doable program with both time and money. You are trained to take the Pilates Method Alliance Certification as this is the only certification for Pilates that actually exists. Training schools can only give a certificate of completion, therefore you must take the PMA test to say that you are a Certified Pilates Instructor. Would love to talk to you if you are interested.

Half Marathon last Saturday

Jeanette — Fri, 22 Apr 2011 15:46:33 +0000

So I did a half marathon last Saturday. Did not train as a runner so I walked it in 3 hours and 9 minutes. Did not take my own advice and got pretty dehydrated. Next time I will spend much more time walking/running. But it was great fun and recommend it as a great goal to work toward.

Attending the Legislature

Jeanette — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 14:12:25 +0000

As many of you know, I am a member of the Advisory Council for the City of Albuquerque’ Department of Senior Affairs. Yesterday, we went to lobby our representatives to not combine Aging and Long Term Services department with Human Services. The merge would not be good for the Senior’s (Age 50 +) of New Mexico. Albuquerque has a DSA that is envied by many cities and states and we want to continue to offer the amount of services that we do to all Seniors.
Unfortunately everything takes so long at the legislature, that a hearing that we all wanted to attend at 1:30pm did not happen in time for us to be there. Kudos to all those who were able to stay late. At this writing I still don’t know the outcome.
If you don’t know much about the Albuquerque Department of Senior Affairs, please log on to www.cabq.gov.

Everyone becomes a “Senior” at some point if they’re lucky!

Jeanette — Wed, 19 Jan 2011 23:51:43 +0000

Yesterday was the first monthly meeting of the Albuquerque Department of Senior Affairs Advisory board of which I am a member. The meeting was held at the newest “senior” center in Tijeras. They have finished the first phase and are hoping to continue very soon. I am always amazed at how many awesome services that the DSA provides to the citizens of ALbuquerque and surrounding areas. Before I was appointed to this board, I knew very little about this department.

If we are healthy and blessed and maybe a little lucky, we will all be “seniors” one day and we should all know about this wonderful gift that we have in the Albuquerque Department of Senior Affairs. From classes and outings and lectures and fitness and sports to dances and home food delivery just to name a few. Everyone over 50 can take advantage. I’m 50 and I don’t consider myself a “senior” but I sure find everything they do very interesting.

Sadly once again the department faces many budget cuts and may even lose it’s cabinet position, being merged with another department where it may get lost.
I would like you to find out more about the department of senior affairs and tell everyone you know how important it is that this awesome department gets what it needs to continue offering such amazing things to all of us. The website is http://www.cabq.gov/seniors/. Check it out and I know you will be amazed.

Bootcamp Week 2

Jeanette — Sat, 15 Jan 2011 21:52:30 +0000

Great job today everyone. Probably felt a little easier today than last week. I am very impressed by how hard everyone is working.
Don’t forget to get in at least 3 more cardio sessions this week. No less than 30 minutes a session and remember you can break it up during the day or even during the week. Drink lots of water and as many fruits and veggies as you can!
If you’d like to come to a class this week, please do. For those of you bootcampers who are reading this blog, you can come to any one mat class that you want this week at no charge.
Hope to see you, the schedule is on my website!

Great job Bootcampers!

TEN people in bootcamp and 4 more to come next week. All you campers did a great job! Don’t be discouraged if you feel a little sore. It is a good thing as long as it is soreness and not pain. Please stretch and do some walking this week. It will help you tremendously! Let’s shoot for 20 minutes a day, 3 times a week. Not to hard of a challenge. You can even break it up. 10 minutes, 2 times a day. I also encourage you to come to a weekday class this week. We have classes in the morning, at noon and in the evening. 10% off for bootcampers. Stay strong and see you next week!

First week of 2011 a good one.

Jeanette — Fri, 07 Jan 2011 21:06:06 +0000

Well we are off to a great start for 2011. All the new classes had many attendees and I think that everyone enjoyed them. Thanks so much to all of you that came. First Bootcamp of the season tomorrow and I am looking forward to kicking some bottoms big time!
Got some great news on GYRO front and it looks like 2011 will be a good GYRO year.

Merry Christmas!

Good Intentions and writing down our goals

Jeanette — Thu, 23 Dec 2010 19:29:45 +0000

Wow, Just finished getting rid of all the terrrible spam that this blog gets. Some of the stuff is pretty disgusting but it is really nice when I get an actual comment to a post. Thanks to you all who have actually responded to me throught the years.
Good intentions.
We all seem to start off the year with good intentions as far as our goals or resolutions for the year. Something gets in the way and we often don’t fulfill those good intentions. Too bad. It’s like a missed opportunity. We had the whole year to do something and now we have to start over.
I am a firm believer in writing down my goals for each year.
I used to write my goals every year and I was much better at achieving them. I can honestly say that I generally reach my goals when I write them down.
Lately, I have to admit that I don’t write them down as much. I used to write a daily to do list and of late I haven’t been doing that either. I feel that I am getting less done. When I don’t write things down, I lose focus. There is way to much going on in my life on a daily basis between the studio, family life, my boys activities and cleaning my house so when it is not written down, I just forget about it for awhile and then end up behind.
Therefore, I am telling all of you out there that my first goal for this year is to go back to writing down my goals, writing down what I want to achieve this year. I am going to write 3 month goals and long term goals and I am going to update them and check them off when I have reached them. Since I told you and wrote it down here first, you can hold me to it and check in with me next year. The other thing that is definitely going to go on my short term and long term goals is to not get caught up in daily life so much that I forget about my goals. To make time to reach them. To work on them, to pray about them and to have faith that they will be reached. I have good intentions.

Before I go, I want to wish everyone out there a Merry Christmas Season and if you don’t celebrate Christmas then I want to wish you all the love and joy that Christmas represents.
